Procrastination

I recall this quote that stated something to the tune of:


Procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine


I thought this was a great quote for today. I thought it was great because here I am sitting at work dealing the the multitude of things that need to be done and what do I hear...the tell tail sign from Outlook stating someone has sent an email...and with the little red "!" no less. They want some where around 20 changes done to their registers and all before open tomorrow...yeah give me a break. I am suppose to drop EVERYTHING I am doing and just work frantically to get what you need done. As if not only are you the only person existing on the planet...but definitely the only client that I work on. Fucking tools.

In other news the computer is still broke but I made some changes this morning that will hopefully bring about some stability to the system. There are only like 2 more things I plan on doing to it until I get a new MOBO for it. And while I am at it I might as well get another GB of RAM. Yeah that will do :).

As for everything else...life is good...

So Yeah

So here I am sitting at work, nothing really that I feel like doing so I decide that I am going to blog. I have not written on this thing in quite some time and maybe I should change that. Maybe post a little something every couple of days about my wonderful life. People seem to like reading about other peoples lives and such.

And without further adieu here is today's post.

A lot of things going on recently such as:
  1. Closing on a house in March
  2. School (full time)
  3. Work (full time)
  4. Computer Problems
  5. Exams next week
  6. etc
So I have a lot on my plate but I guess that is a good thing. Closing on the house is really fucking exciting. We are furniture shopping, measuring the house the whole nine yards. It is all coming really quick...but I cant wait because Palmer really needs some space...the dog is a basket case after getting out of the kennel and being there all day. But I let him out today around 12ish...we will see how he does in the house...he got out recently and didnt destroy anything...I am hoping for the same outcome today.

School is good. 1 week until the exams and I only have a little bit of my web project left for one class so that is good. I should be graduating soon, I thought it was December but it is looking more like May :(. All for 1 damn credit...I am going to see if there are any 1 credit classes that do not take that much effort and try and cram that in to my normal schedule.

Work has been good. Steady and not too overwhelming. I am starting to get the hang of how things are supposed to work although there are still some iffy points of responsibility that I am hoping will iron out over the next few months.

Also still thinking about a joint venture with some friends into our own business. Cant really go into details about what, how, or anything like that but just know that when it happens..."it" is going to be life changing...mainly for the four of us. I actually think I may redesign a lot of the web page now that I am just finishing this web development class. I am seeing a lot of really good uses for ASP.NET and may incorporate it into the website.

And as for the computer problems...I am about fed the hell up with ASUS. This damn mother board has been giving me fucking problems since just about when I bought it. I think I might have the damn problem licked now though. The skinny of the situation is that the board can not boot from SATA drives...dont know why...its stupid and ridiculous but whatever. It can manage it. So I have to have an IDE drive in there...I installed the damn OS on the SATA drive...and I am hoping that it wont be too much of a problem. I had to change some configuration settings to allow the IDE drive to be the main drive and then everything booted right up...now its a fucking waiting game because it is not something that I can reproduce at the drop of a hat...for what ever reason the damn thing will just lock up, stop recognizing the IDE drive and then fail to POST at the acpi driver or whatever....but i think i smashed this fucking bug this time...and I hope I smashed it good and dead... That should be all for now...more to come hopefully tomorrow.
